Psalm 120

Plea for Relief from Bitter Foes

A Song of Ascents.

1 In my distress I cried to the Lord, And He heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips

And from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you,

Or what shall be done to you,

You false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,

With coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech,

That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has dwelt too long

With one who hates peace.

7 I am for peace;

But when I speak, they are for war.

 The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Ps 120.
